– Tim Warren from Crypt Records, on the eve of two new volumes of the mind-destroying “BACK FROM THE GRAVE” 60s punk compilations, takes us through how he’s been putting these comps together since 1983 and the pain he’s endured to make sure we get to here some of the most raw and rare rocknroll chaos of all time
